HOTFREAKS  More abandonware by an independent developer. My advice is to buy software from established software companies. I'm tired of shelling out $$ to support developers that get distracted and move on to other things, leaving users in the lurch.

BAREFEET  I disagree with your comment for three reasons:

1. SQLiteManager is a great program. Dismissing it because it's by an independent developer is losing useful functionality. There are things this program (and others like it) do that have no equivalent from a large company. If we ignored all of the independently developed programs, we'd lose 50 to 90% of the innovative software available.

2. SQLiteManager creates and uses SQLite database files. This is effectively an open standard for database files. Even if SQLiteManager disappeared tomorrow, you could still use the database files it creates with a dozen other programs for Mac, PC, Linux etc that all use the same file format. Contrast this with a big company's program such as FileMaker whose files can only be read by that program.

3. SQLiteManager is not abandoned. The developer has indicated ongoing development for months and released a new version a few weeks after your comment.

You can see SQLiteManager along side other SQLite GUI apps at:

BAREFEET  SQLiteManager is a fairly thorough app. It provides a neat GUI into SQLite if you know your SQL. It offers basic data viewing/editing facilities.

Unlike many alternative applications, SQLiteManager does open SQLite database files on AppleShare volumes, uses a proper Mac OS Cocoa GUI (not ugly Java) and allows editing of views.

See a detailed comparison here:
